Hi there! You can call me Chris. I'm 23, and I'm going backpacking in a few months! I'm super nervous, so any tips would be appreciated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn what it's like to live in the places I'm travelling, and make lifelong friends along the way!

Interests

I want to pet a dog (or a cat) in every country.

I'm gently into photography (I'm practicing!) and absolutely love watching horror movies, reading about ghosts, reading about mystical elves (or wizards, or dragons, I'm not picky) and can't get enough about art history.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love love love (!) Tolkien and Neil Gaiman works. I could talk about The Song of Achilles for 5 million years, and will try (and fail) not to bring up terrible 80's fantasy novels.
As for movies, if you haven't seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, you cannot understand my soul. We can chat about horror movies all night (Sleepaway Camp!!!) and other stuff too, I guess.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to China! I thought that was pretty neat. I'm hoping to have some amazing experiences on my upcoming travels- want to help?

Teach, Learn, Share

Never go somewhere without a local there to guide you!

A good laugh, a fun time, and a bucketload of pictures of my dog.
